Résumé

In the Sahara, the oasis of Mzab is the home of a small minority of Berber-speaking Muslims, the Ibadis. Long time isolated, they were for the first time integrated into what became “Algeria” with French colonialism. This raised the challenge for the religious and worldly authorities of the community: Should they resist integration into the new larger entity, or should they join in a wider, national struggle for Islamic renewal? How should they relate to the foreign, French authorities? This seminar will place the Mzab in Ibadi history, and trace how the community responded to these challenges during the twentieth century.
